Mansi Verma, a middle-class girl with an unquenchable passion for dance, crosses paths with Teron Hernandez-a young billionaire born into one of the wealthiest families, who owns multiple businesses and brands and is one of Bollywood's most celebrat...
It's been two weeks since I introduced Teron to my sister, yet what happened that day still lingers in my mind. She left, but her words didn't. They keep replaying in my head, disturbing my peace and pulling me toward thoughts I've been trying so hard to ignore.
More than anything, I was still affected by the fact that she didn't approve of him. Her approval would have meant everything to me. But maybe it was just too soon.
Hoping to change her mind, I called her a few days later. I apologised for the way I had reacted and asked her to give this relationship a chance.
She sighed before replying, "Mansi, you're so naive. It's not that I'm against him or unhappy for you. I'm just not happy about his past... countless affairs. I don't understand how you moved in with him despite knowing all of this. How could you trust him so easily? What's the guarantee that he won't leave you? Will he choose you the way you chose him? I'm not saying he's a bad person. I'm just saying he might not be the right person for you. I know he's your crush, but you'll be crushed if it doesn't work out. You're too attached to see it, but I can. Anyway, I know you won't listen to me. So... all I can do is wish you luck."
I know she's being practical.
But since when did love become practical?
Love is passion. It consumes you, challenges you, demands trust, and tests you. It's everything but practical. It's one of life's rarest blessings.
To be loved by the person you love is nothing short of a miracle.
And I want to believe this is my miracle.
Maybe that's why, whenever I can't fall asleep, I find myself looking at Teron sleeping peacefully beside me.

My eyes search his face for an answer to the question he can never hear.
I'm worrying for nothing... right?
I wish he could answer.
But I never wake him. I don't want to burden him with my insecurities.
So, I decided to keep myself busy with college and dance. And I stuck to it.

Everything was going as per the plan until one day, Teron came home much earlier than usual.
"Hey, beautiful," he said with a warm smile.
"Hi, love. How come you're home so early today?"
He stepped closer and pulled me into a hug.
"I noticed something's been bothering you lately, so I thought I'd surprise you."
